Even though the theme of my blogs doesn’t look like my advertising sites, they still have a similarity in header design. The third element is professional appearance. There are themes that are great for business and magazine type blogs. The last element which is very important is customization capabilities. A theme should be user friendly and flexible to your needs. For a responsive customizable blog Corporate Blue and Asteroid themes are a good fit.

PERSONAL INTEREST

What about a person who has a personal blog? A few things can be considered when choosing a theme. First, what are you blogging about? Do you like fan fiction and Original Fiction? Are you in a band, are you interested in entertainment gossip or fashion? You can choose a theme that will best represent your personality and interests.

If you don’t want your site to look like the main site, the Nevertheless theme is good and simple and will allow you to put a background image on the site.

AFFILIATE BLOGGERS

Introduction

You can introduce the affiliate program, product, or service to your audience. Give your audience a preview of how that service can benefit them. Give them a few points to think about when considering the service or program. The questions many people think about are “How can I earn income with this product?”, “is this program user friendly?”, “can I build a list with this product?”. These are only a few questions internet marketers ask when considering an opportunity. Plus, they want to know if it is good ethics to use the product.

Highlight the Pros and Cons

The right hand may be healthy and clean but the left hand needs to be examined. What does that mean? Every program, product, or service has a good bad and ugly feature. Before a marketer joins a service or even buy a product, the good and bad is always examined. The customer needs to know that the product they buy will benefit their bottom line. Plus, they need to know how they can earn as an affiliate of the product.
